By Julio Mario Espinosa Jimenez

In the middle of the 21st century, crisis after crisis, conflicts after conflicts hit humanity until a world war bursts. However, the confrontation went hand in hand as viruses, bacteria, and substances that affected the mind were released by invisible hands.
Millions of people died, there were famines, diseases, and without anyone attending the victims, many lives were lost. Many countries disappeared in the process. After about 30 years, only a handful of millions of people survived the time of tribulation.
In this post-apocalyptic scenario, a group of young girls tries to survive in the middle of nowhere in a small community called Girl Land, their mothers disappeared mysteriously 13 years ago, forcing them to survive on their own.
In this small city, women rule and men are treated like animals, forced to live in stables and to do hard work.
Avril rules with an iron fist while her cousin Nicole believes the animals; men, have equal rights, this will lead to a confrontation between the two young women who will pervert the established order by the invisible hands.

Her breathing is chopping, her eyes are wet. Suddenly, a branch breaks near her. Scared, she stops, looks around her, there's no one, and she reassumes her scape.

AVRIL V.O:

My name is Avril, I am the leader of Girl Land; a small community in the middle of nowhere, every night I have the same nightmare, they follow me, observe me, they want to hunt me!

Her long white dress tears with the dry branches, her legs and arms are punished by the branches too. Nevertheless, she doesn’t stop to take care of her wounds.

AVRIL V.O:

Our mothers and adults, in general, disappeared 13 years ago, we can figure out what happens to them, and the council that rules our community does not now either. Or at least that's what they tell us.

Avril stumbles upon a fallen tree and falls a small slope of about three meters high. Ashamed, Avril stands up, and stars to run again.
